Man uses tow truck, cable, to decapitate himself
A bystander in the area called 911 at 4:27 a.m. to report a tow truck driving erratically through the S&R and neighboring parking lots along a commercial area off Illinois 116 near its junction with old Route 66.
The truck careened through the S&R parking lot and adjacent Superior Gyros parking lot eastward, then struck a sign and crossed old Route 66. It went down an embankment and came to rest behind a business on the other side of the road.
When police arrived, they found the man’s head in the S&R parking lot and his body inside the truck.

I notice the site where the story is posted isn't allowing reader comments on this particular story. Such cynicism.

Ye of little faith... I'm sure all the comments would be about how sorry people are, how we should reach out to his family with our prayers, and how we should use this as inspiration to better our lives and start caring more for others....
Or... perhaps how somebody should be kind enough to send a cable to his mother.

Ouch. I can see this one headed off in the wrong direction.
